Upstream planning (Or lack of it.)L leads to downstream flooding! I'm not sure of the catchment for Quorn but Woodbrook starts up at Charley and Hermitage Brook starts at Loncliffe. The canal was overtopped by Woodbrook at Canal bank. Heavy rain WILL cause this to happen again. Welcome to the effects of gravity - water flows downhill.
